### Episode 137: Unable to Suppress a Smile

“Hmm, was Kaiser really that impressive… From your brief encounter, how strong do you think he is?”

“Well… I believe he’s undoubtedly at least rank A. In fact, I didn’t think I could beat him. I might even believe it if someone said he was rank S.”

“To think he’s that strong… This corroborates the testimonies of the guards and the Lorraine family. I didn’t doubt them, but the discrepancy between the documents and rumors made me skeptical. Thanks to you, one mystery has been solved.”

Recently, the rumors surrounding Kaiser had taken a complete turn, so I devised a plan to observe him up close and see his true nature. The results forced me to reevaluate my opinion of him.

Kaiser probably thought that being surrounded by a crowd, especially under the emperor’s watchful eye, he wouldn’t be noticed. He failed to realize that everything was orchestrated by me.

Despite his retirement, to see someone demonstrate such ability surpassing that of a rank A veteran, even if it was just one moment, one strike, shows that “he wouldn’t have achieved such results without consistent training.”

In other words, Kaiser had been making tremendous efforts in secret, feigning foolishness all this time. The fact that he hadn’t flaunted his strength indicates he didn’t use it for selfish purposes.

I couldn’t help but smile, feeling I had discovered an unexpected gem.

Moreover, his family holds a ducal title, and Kaiser is expected to inherit it. As a future son-in-law, he would be perfect, and given his lingering bad reputation, no other parents seem interested in engaging their daughters to him at this point.

“And now, Your Majesty…”

“What is it? Do you have something to ask, or is there more to say about Kaiser?”

“No, I was wondering if we could consider my family’s punishment concluded.”

“Ah, that matter. Regardless of whether the operation succeeded or failed, as long as you carried it out properly, I will overlook your son’s involvement in benefiting from it without reporting to his superiors. You will be exonerated, retaining your title without any corporal or punitive measures. However, your son won’t be absolved; he will face a penalty in the form of a lowered internal rating. He won’t advance in his generation, but if he behaves, he won’t lose his title and can live peacefully… if he stays out of trouble. This is his last chance.”
